How to Care for Chrysanthemums
If you want to know how to care for chrysanthemums and the cultivation methods and techniques of chrysanthemums, please correct me if there are any mistakes!
Cultivating chrysanthemums requires the correct method. Chrysanthemums are plants that thrive in warm environments. The temperature in winter should not be too low to avoid frost damage.
I. Potting Chrysanthemum Cultivation Method
1. Soil
When potting chrysanthemums, it is necessary to use loose, fertile soil with good drainage and ventilation. Mix garden soil, river sand soil, and humus soil in a ratio of 1:2:1, disinfect and sterilize it before use, ensuring the soil is rich in nutrients to promote healthy plant growth.
2. Lighting
Chrysanthemums need short periods of sunlight. Place them in a shaded position to allow for scattered sunlight. Avoid direct sunlight exposure and place them near indoor windowsills or balconies.
3. Watering
Chrysanthemums require moderate water. Water when the soil at the roots is slightly dry. Water thoroughly when the soil is slightly dry, and do not water when it is moist. In summer, when temperatures are high and water evaporates quickly, water 1-2 times a day to prevent the plant from lacking water. During the rainy season, proper drainage should be ensured.
4. Pruning
During the growing period, prune away the long, rapidly growing branches, diseased and old branches, and dry and rotting branches to prevent affecting the overall density of the plant and promote growth.
II. Precautions
1. Appropriate Temperature
The suitable temperature for cultivating chrysanthemums is between 18-21 degrees Celsius. In summer, when temperatures are high, they should not exceed 32 degrees Celsius to avoid direct sunlight that can affect plant growth. In winter, the temperature should not be below 10 degrees Celsius to prevent frost damage and plant death.
2. Growing Environment
The growing environment for potted chrysanthemums requires good ventilation to ensure a fresh air flow. The plant can absorb a large amount of nutrients to promote its healthy growth.
The above is a comprehensive introduction to how to care for chrysanthemums and the cultivation methods and techniques. I hope it brings some related knowledge about green plants to greenery enthusiasts.
